Make You Mine

by Ash Coley

Dark, enemies to lovers, standalone romance
I want to break her. Twist her around. Mold her into who I want her to be.

I'll take everything I can from her. Her love. Her soul. Her heart. Her mind.

The one thing I can't take is her willing submission.

But is her submission worth giving myself a weakness? And is she worth the trouble that I know she'll bring?

Rhett is a man obssesed with Natalia at first sight he craves her, wants her, but she's a payment for her fathers debt she will never willingly submit to a man like him, or could she? Well written steamy, BDSM, D/s, dub-con, romance.

Non con
Bratty newly realised sub
A sir that would make you kneel just by one look from him
BDSM light with breaking new sub scene.

I had no idea this book has BDSM touch in it but non con is my poison so yeah gonna over rule the BDSM. But bratty sub was never my kink, so yeah
Call me weird, but the scene that got me so perk up was the moment when he cold blooded ends three thief stupid enough to steal his merchandise.

Overall, an okay read for me.

Make you Mind

Natalia has been sold to Rhett by her father in order to pay his debt. Rhett has a *slight* obsession with her and wants her to submit to him. Unfortunately for him, she has a free spirit and doesn't want to submit to him or anyone else. Will she give in to his demands and submit to him, or will he maybe open up to her and hope that she submits?

This is a fairly short story that focuses more on Natalia's submission and the journey she and Rhett take getting to that point. There are a lot of triggers in this book, including kidnapping, dr*ugs, and dub con material, so please be mindful of your triggers.

I loved the connection Rhett and Natalia have. It's chaotic and imbalanced, but they go well with each other despite their initial setup. Rhett "owns" her but doesn't necessarily treat her as such a majority of the time. He also is very protective of her, which I found sweet in a way.

One thing I didn't care for was why Rhett had her set up in the club and had a contract done for her so that anyone could do what they wanted except have physical sex with her? If he didn't want her messed with, why bother at all? It just didn't make sense and didn't add to the story at all.

If you are looking for a 90min dark romance read that’s a stand-alone with an HEA then this book is for you! I love series as much as the next dark romance fan, but sometimes it’s nice to have a one shot book as well. This book had all the great elements (and a discreet cover, which I always appreciate)- over the top anti-hero, sassy heroine, some suspense elements and a lot of spice. Usually I’m not a big fan of books that have more d/s elements but this was not overdone in the story. I also loved the overarching aspect that Rhett saved Natalia from a worse fate because if her dad was willing to sell her to him, he would do it with someone worse. This is a debut author, so for a first attempt I’m impressed and excited to see what they bring next!.

Make You Mine by Ash Coley
⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 🌶️🌶️🌶️/5

Top quote: "I'm not a monster, Natalia. I have darker needs, but when you're good for me, I can be good for you. Make sense?"

Thoughts: this was a quick and enjoyable read, but overall felt quite average. The obsession the mmc had for the fmc felt rushed, I would’ve loved a bit more development with it to really build the tension between the characters. But I did enjoy the spice and dynamic between the characters.

Book Tropes:
🖤 BDSM
⛓️‍💥 Dom / sub
🖤 s€x club
⛓️‍💥 obsessive mmc
🖤 bratty fmc
⛓️‍💥 morally grey mmc

This book is a dark mafia romance. It's a novella so it's not too long. Classic case of a father owing money to a mafia man and trading his daughter instead. Natalia then ends up in Rhett's club told she has to submit for customers. Let's say it doesn't go as planned or very well. I do like the book cover dark and pretty.

This is a dark and twisted romance story. Fast paced and runs you through all your emotions. Keeps you hating the man and loving the chemistry. Multiple triggers so be cautious.
Loved this book and the characters. Rhett loved Natalia in his own twisted way and she just didn't know what to think. She in turn loved him in her own needy way.
Definitely a must read if you can work through triggers.

[The.ghost_reader · Rating 3 out of 5]

Exactly what you expect. Dark romance with sub and Dom influence. It would have honestly been GREAT if the author would have slowed the hell down and added some more to the story. Don't get me wrong, we're all here for the smut, but I wanted a little bit more story to it.
We get jumps in the story, and over about 13 pages, the MFC was already in love with the MMC and pregnant.
But 3 stars because it was a fast-paced, smutty book, which is exactly what I was searching for.

When Natalia’s father bargains her for his freedom with Rhett, little does she know she will eventually fall for his darkness and charm. The story was hot and steamy when it came to this couple. Every moment between them kept me looking forward to how their ending would go.

Make You Mine

This book had a lot of potential and while it was decent it didn't completely blow my mind. I didn't understand the sudden obsession Rhett had with Natalia and it felt kinda rushed IMO. I couldn't quite understand the plot - it could have benefited having more detail.

[Maureen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Mafia romance, quick read novella. What you would expect from a dark and NSFW romance where the mafia boss is instantly attached to the daughter of a man who settles a debt by giving her to him. He fights it and ohhhhhh the steam. 3.75/5 stars rounded up.

[Alex Joyce · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is my first Ash Coley novel, and I wasn't disappointed. Deliciously dark and dangerous, not for the feint hearted. Great characters, and a well written storyline. Would recommend.

pleasantly surprised

I enjoyed that more than I thought I would. The trope isn’t really my jam but the story genuinely held my attention and I actually could’ve read more if it were longer. If Dom/Sub is your niche then definitely try this out!

[Shandy Lusby · Rating 2 out of 5]

Another short read to get to my yearly goal. I had some hope for this book because I’m a dark romance girly, however there were plot holes and missing links that just made me bored. Even the spicy scenes were just “ehh” due to being repetitive and super short.

[redinadress · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing. Show stopper. Spectacular.

[Jennifer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow!

This book is the perfect mix of dark and love! The characters are good, the story is a fast read that kept me glued to my tablet. I didn't want it to end.

If you want a quick mafia 365 days book this is it!! Spicy as all get out and just a good quick read!!

[Ella Warg · Rating 3 out of 5]

3,5 to be exact, it was a little boring but nice at the same time. A lot of 🌶🌶🌶

[Lutfia Valley · Rating 4 out of 5]

3 stars is too little, but 4 stars is too much... so I think 3.5 stars it is.

I don't think this was enermies to lovers, but I enjoyed it just the same.

Really good, short & spicy dark romance book! If you need a gap filler or are looking to up your reading count, add this to your tbr!

[H.A. Hale · Rating 2 out of 5]

The premise was nice, the execution was not. If I never heard another "baby girl", I think I'd be okay.

FUH NO

[sabreen · Rating 1 out of 5]

I feel as if the plot of this book was just absolutely horrendous. I get that everyone has their own preferences in relation to who they choose to engage in romantic and sexual relationships with but I feel like this book was only about that. There was no plot whatsoever in my opinion. I do give credit to the main male lead to helping the lead female character leave her abusive father and background but besides that, there was nothing good that came out of this book whatsoever.

[Heidi · Rating 3 out of 5]

If you love a dark romance with heavy enemies-to-lovers vibes, grab this book immediately! Rhett is the kind of character who makes the "brat" in me want to sit down and STFU.

Natalia might be the "payment" for her father's debt, but she is anything but submissive. She’s a total brat, and even though Rhett needs a well-behaved sub, you can tell he secretly loves her fierce spark. The power struggle between these two is electric. It’s steamy, intense, and so, so good!
